The opening camera zoom annoys plenty of players. Here is how to disable it using the widget menu and what to do if you want your replay reviewed.

Disabling the start camera zoom

Open the widget menu in game and search for start or camera. The relevant widget lets you disable the automatic camera zoom that plays when each match begins. A future patch will add a direct toggle in the game settings, but the widget method works right now.

Dealing with harassment in custom lobbies

If someone creates a lobby with a harassing name, you can report them through the server website. Go to the battle page, find the match, click the players tab, and report from there. Off-topic lobby names do not stay anonymous forever.

Getting a mentor replay review

Want a mentor to look at your replay? Upload it through the BAR replay system where games are automatically saved under your account. Create a thread in the replay review area, paste your replay link, and mention your in-game name if your account uses a different identity. Mentors review replies when available. You can ask for a serious review or a roast.

Small settings fixes, big comfort gains

Disabling one annoying camera animation seems minor. But it removes friction every single game. Players who tweak their settings to match their preferences consistently last longer in the scene.

[Crd] Crd is the first really comfortable community I have been a part of. Everyone is nice and kind, the atmosphere is relaxed, and I am not getting yelled at for not being optimal.
